Question 2

When mapping eyebrow shape, the 'golden ratio' most commonly refers to which proportion?

Accepted Answer

1:1.618

Answer

The golden ratio of approximately 1:1.618 (phi) is used as the aesthetic standard for harmonious facial proportions including brow mapping.

Question 3

The orbicularis oculi muscle surrounds the eye and is responsible for which primary action relevant to PMU artists?

Accepted Answer

Closing the eye and squinting

Answer

The orbicularis oculi closes the eyelid and creates squinting, which PMU artists must account for when mapping eyeliner placement.

Question 4

In classic brow mapping, where should the brow ARCH ideally be positioned relative to the iris?

Accepted Answer

Above the lateral limbus of the iris

Answer

The brow arch is traditionally mapped to peak above the lateral limbus (outer edge of the iris) for a naturally lifted appearance.

Question 5

The procerus muscle, when contracted, creates which facial feature relevant to brow PMU mapping?

Accepted Answer

A horizontal crease at the nose bridge

Answer

The procerus pulls the medial brow downward, creating a horizontal crease at the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows.
